Still Working On May Goals
I did some sterling work on my UFOs last month, and I'd like to start something new and fun, but I just need to draw a line under some of the Almost Finished things.
Bitcoin wasn't officially on my list, but I pulled it out to work on anyway.
The piano key borders on that roll were enough to do the 2 long sides, and my box of 3.5 x 1.5" pieces provided enough for the top and bottom border. It's pouring rain right now, but I'll take a proper photo once I get down to the shop.
I gritted my teeth and attached a 1.25" border to the Dear Jane top. I was a bit disgusted with myself for not doing that when I completed the block assembly, because there was a lot of fraying and stretching, but at least it's stabilised now. What's left to do is cut the border triangles needed and hand sew them.
I have enough faith in myself to know that I will buckle down and get that done, because I really, really want this top crossed of the list. I'm even thinking I might put it on the Statler and quilt all the construction lines, and then quilt each block in the hoop. I miss hand quilting, especially in winter.
I did manage some mindless sewing:
Another 12 Spinning Rectangle blocks. They're very soothing to make, no stressing about points not matching etc.
Before I do anything else in the sewing room I need to tidy up. My cutting table is a total rubbish tip.
I've been so focussed on finding the right material to finish tops that I haven't put anything away, or put scrap trimmings in the bin. I can work in a mess, but this is total chaos. But it's a good chore for a rainy day.
